A Programming-related Request...

[momijizukamori]

Because I know I have some people on my subscriber list who do non-Perl programming! Does anyone have any good resources for practicing bitwise operators, octal and hexadecimal math, and/or conversions between different types of int (short vs long, signed vs unsigned). I screwed that section of my last C programming exam up massively because Perl doesn't even make you declare int vs double, and Java doesn't get into different int types.

Similar but even more horrid: a customer ticket I recently dealt with turned out to involve a missing header file #include on a system where sizeof (void *) > sizeof (int). Better, it just happened to work most of the time unless you turned on address space layout randomization for improved security.

(I considered using my "programming" icon just for the irony....)
